Hi all im hoping you can help, I have been wracking my brains out for
ages with this and any pointers would be much appreciated.

I have the following code :

<script type="text/javascript">

   var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
   var directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();



   var myOptions = {
     zoom:7,
         trips:1,
     mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
   }

   var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),
myOptions);
   directionsDisplay.setMap(map);

   var request = {
       origin: '51.030923,-3.12192',
       destination: '51.111983,-2.991114',
       travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
   };

   directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
      if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {

         // Display the distance:
         document.getElementById('distance').innerHTML +=
            response.routes[0].legs[0].distance.text + " meters";

         // Display the duration:
         document.getElementById('duration').innerHTML +=
            response.routes[0].legs[0].duration.text + " seconds";

                // Display the duration:
                for (var i = 0; i < response.routes[0].legs[0].steps.length; 
i++)

         document.getElementById('direction').innerHTML +=
            response.routes[0].legs[0].steps[i].instructions + "<br>";
                        };

         directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);

   });



   </script>

As you see very basic finding directions from two places and getting
directions. But what I cant find how to do, and honestly I have been
looking  at this all week is how to turn ''origin:
'51.030923,-3.12192'," from being  hard coded to a geolocation lat and
long....

I have tried using :

if(navigator.geolocation) {
                        
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
                        initialLocation = new
google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,position.coords.longitude);
                        origin: initialLocation,
                        destination: '51.111983,-2.991114',
                        travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
                }, function() {
      handleNoGeolocation(browserSupportFlag);
    });
  } else {
    // Browser doesn't support Geolocation
    handleNoGeolocation();
  }

but to no avail...

I have looked at implementing

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position){
    var lat = position.coords.latitude;
    var lon = position.coords.longitude;
    var origin = new GMarker(new GLatLng(lat, lon));

    var jsMap = new GMap2(document.getElementById("jsMap"));
    jsMap.addOverlay(marker);
},function(error){
    //use error.code to determine what went wrong
});


I just cant see how to do it....

Any help in this would be very much appreciated.


regards

Ade
